Both Telegram and Facebook Messenger are fantastic products—best in class. (Although, you have to agree—Messenger has the better domain name.)

You're lucky if your entire messaging world is neatly confined within the Telegram or the Messenger network. If your world happens to be randomly split between the two… well, then, you're switching like crazy. Welcome to the future!

We wrote about how we (the people) and our corporate overlords put our efforts together to build this future in an earlier post about Google Hangouts.

The good news is all of us at Sameroom are working hard to reintroduce some interoperability back into our lives. Today, I'm going to show how to sync up a chat in Telegram with one in FB Messenger.

Bridge a contact or group in Telegram (Side A) with a contact or group in Messenger (Side B) via the Open a Tube flow.

You can adjust how your messages appear on the other side by configuring posting options.

Note: you can also create a Portal to your Telegram or Messenger group and share the Portal URL with others. They'll be able to join from whatever platform they like (and we support). Here is a video that shows how to share a Slack channel—it will work exactly the same way with Telegram or Messenger—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il-ybcQZYT8.

Questions or comments? We watch our Twitter account like FBI watches Pintero's restaurant in Enemy of the State.

Step 2: Then, you can Open a Tube between your Slack Channel (side A) and Facebook Messenger conversation (side B).

To fine-tune how your messages appear on both ends of the resulting Tube, you can adjust posting options.

If you’d like to respond to all Facebook Messenger conversations from Slack, you can use our Attend feature. It is designed for use with Facebook Pages, but it’ll work with a personal Facebook account as well.

Back in the good old days, Facebook Messenger and Skype interoperated by tapping into each other’s networks with XMPP. Not anymore, for a number of reasons. We explored some of these in our posts announcing Sameroom integrations with Google Hangouts and Facebook Messenger.

Sameroom once again makes it possible to chat with Skype contacts from Messenger, and vice versa.

To try it out, follow these steps:
